Inverse Shunting Yard Algorithm for Porting FORTH to Other Programming Languages as Host Environments --- Liang Ng
Phoscript is a FORTH dialect where various FORTH constructs are ported to other programming languages as host environments, based on Inverse Shunting Yard Algorithm, reducing the barriers of entry to learn FORTH for programmers of all ages. Further, high level abstraction of source code using Phoscript generalizes Merkle trees to general purpose digital contracts, enabling unprecedented large scale collaboration for free software projects, and novel mechanisms for collecting royalties.

The Matrix --- Bill Ragsdale (Tentative)
A matrix? Some matrices.

Packt Book In Progress --- Dennis Ruffer
BOOK TITLE: Building Real-Time Embedded Systems with Zephyr Project
Subtitle: Using Zephyr on the nRF52840 Dongle”

More Colors, More Forth --- Brad Nelson
"I'll show off the incrementally improving state of my colorForth implementation, its graphics, and editor."
=+
The Elevator Pitch for Forth (Part Deux) --- All
We'll discus the idea of a short talk to answer “What is Forth?” or “What is Forth good for?” Everyone is challenged to produce a short video or script. This may become our intro video on the YouTube channel.
=+
Comparing CoSy With Other Array Languages --- Bob Armstrong
CoSy , while radically simpler and more flexible than other array languages , being an open vocabulary in Forth , has equivalent expressive power. I will work thru the one line example in Conor Hoekstra's YouTube : APL vs BQN vs J vs Q vs NumPy vs Julia vs R .
( Suggestion : check out Conor's vid before the meeting:
